Er...sorry. Inapropriate dialogue for a cafe.

It was windy, very windy & stormy today.

Hail didn't damage my new car, though. I'm not pulling any insurance scams tonight, or any night.

mmmm, I love how i always get it wrong, Magoseph.

Only swearwords are inappropriate, Ulgine

"the eyes see all"?

Literal translation: Les yeux voient tout. Ali may weigh on this expression because I think there's an adage about eyes as, for example, about ears: Little pitchers have big ears.

Souviens-toi qu’il y a des yeux partout, Ulgine!

Meaning in my book: watch your step--but Ali will come on and decide. I just came back from the convenience store and I can't think for the moment, soaked that I am.

Mago, you sent us a cold rain today. What's in store for tomorrow?

21671. Magoseph - 4/25/2007 4:20:16 PM

Dear Wonk,

At your service, here it goes: Early rain--showers in the afternoon--high 46 with winds 20mph to 30mph--change of rain 70%--rainfall one and half inches.

Wiz darling, thanks for the hello!

I stole this picture for Wonkers:

We spent time in the safe room last night, waiting for tornados to hit...they didn't but we enjoyed a good chianti while waiting.

Arky, did you get any of that storm last night or did it peter out on the way?

21674. wonkers2 - 4/25/2007 7:58:17 PM

The Cap'n sez "Thanks, Mago. How about a moonlight cruise? Bring yer friend Sego along, no extry charge." How do you say "Wow, what a looker in French?" Quelle belle dame? How could she possibly lose?

21675. arkymalarky - 4/26/2007 2:31:13 AM

I know I'll die alone.

Could be, we never know. We just don't want to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. I've seen people who I would have sworn that about, who were surrounded by loving family and friends in their last days due to changes most never thought they'd make (mostly involving alcohol).

21676. arkymalarky - 4/26/2007 2:32:40 AM

Judith,

It came through, but the line was very thin. Lots of wind and lightning but I'd say for less than 20 minutes. If I hadn't been awake I don't think it would have woke me up.

21677. arkymalarky - 4/26/2007 2:33:56 AM

New Car? Wadja get, Ulgine?

21678. arkymalarky - 4/26/2007 2:34:41 AM

If you do die alone, make sure you don't have cats.

21679. Magoseph - 4/26/2007 4:16:54 PM

If my lovely daughter-in-law became the executor of our living will, she would probably place Butch in a kennel where he‘d die of grief.

21680. Magoseph - 4/27/2007 9:00:51 PM

Where's everybody?

21681. judithathome - 4/28/2007 12:05:12 AM

Took Harley to the vet for stitches removal and nail trim and then I had to go to MY doctor for prescription renewal...whole day has been a bust. Nap time...since Keoni won't be home til about 9pm.

21682. prolph - 4/28/2007 12:08:51 AM

glad to hear no tornados for j@h malarky. is everyone else ok?

WHAT IS A SAFE ROOm?

patsy

21683. arkymalarky - 4/28/2007 3:23:32 AM

Hey Patsy!

In some houses or buildings without storm cellars or in addition to them (don't know about Judith's) it's a specially designed steel-reinforced central room for a tornado. A school I used to work in built a nice one that could hold all the kids in the event of a tornado (it's a small school).

21684. arkymalarky - 4/28/2007 3:24:09 AM

Well, it's not FOR a tornado, since the idea is to keep them out rather than invite them in.

21685. betty - 4/28/2007 3:46:07 AM

can we just talk about the fact that I am thirty, single, not so ugly that dogs start howling when I enter a room and I am laying on the loveseat, in a pink wife beater and typing a stupid freakin' paper on a Friday night when I should be nicely intoxicated and getting lucky?

21686. concerned - 4/28/2007 3:53:09 AM

If you do die alone, make sure you don't have cats.

Or dogs.
